I am reading a powerful sermon from Dr. Russell Metcalfe,Jr that I want to share.
"1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is from God, and everyone who loves
is born of God and knows God. The one
who does not love does not know God,
for God is love.
John is saying, if I understand him
correctly, that it doesn't take positive, evil acts to separate me
from God-- sins that I DO- - but he is clearly saying that something
negative-- the LACK of something-- something I DO NOT DO-- can prove I
don't even know God at all.
You can get to heaven if people do not forgive you. But you can't get there if you are unwilling to forgive. I didn't say that. Guess who did? Jesus said,
"If you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will the
heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses." (Matthew 6:15)"("The Son Of Consolation, May 8, 1994)
Some around us need to hear the message of love again..
God wants to make us capable to love again
